I started formally studying herbal medicine when I was pregnant with my first son. I wanted to learn alternative ways to treat childhood illnesses, to learn the art and science of home herbal care. I have been studying ever since, Mother Earth has so much to offer us that an herbalist is never done learning! My skin care line was born out of a need for truly all natural, organic, chemical free tar
geted skin care. There are three lines tailored to your special skin type. Wisdom is for dry/mature skin types. Wisdom employs the rich, rejuvenating properties of avocado, rose hip, and pomegranate oils among other restorative ingredients. Honesty was created for oily/acne prone skin. Using oils that are most like your skin's natural sebum, Honesty moisturizes and heals without causing further breakouts. Honesty employs the antibacterial powers of tea tree and patchouli essential oils to treat the root cause of acne. Intuition was formulated for sensitive skin. Tamanu oil, chamomile, and lavender soothe and heal inflamed skin. I created this line out of my own need for products that wouldn't irritate my super sensitive skin. The Pearly Everlasting skin care regimen begins with the Oh, Honey! facial cleanser. This honey based cleanser is made with local honey and is formulated for all skin types. The next step in the regimen is the apple cider vinegar based toner. Apple cider vinegar restores the natural pH of your skin. This step is incredibly important in the health and healing ability of your skin. Oil based serums are used for moisturizing and replenishing. The serums are very effective in treating the different complaints associated with each individual skin type. There are masks for deep cleaning and detoxifying. Each mask is specially formulated to meet the needs of each skin type. Ingredients like rice bran powder and lavender not only nourish, but deep clean to reveal bright, radiant skin. The mask can be combined with water, herbal tea, mashed fruit or honey to create a more tailored experience. The final and favorite step in the regimen is exfoliation. I have created a scrub for all skin types, but especially suited for folks with rosacea or sensitive skin. It blends beautifully with the Oh, Honey! The Revelation scrub can be used 3-4 times a week, and can also be used as a mask. Other products that I offer are Eye Candy eye balm, Calendula lip balm, Green Goodness herbal salve, and body polish. You can find my products at Yolo Barre (4625 2nd Street Suite #110, Davis, Ca.)
